Mediums Sound Can Travel Through Sound can travel through Solid, Liquid and Gas Sound can not travel through Space
Type of Sound Wave Sound is a longitudinal wave.
Speed of Sound Waves Sound waves travel Fastest through solid. 2nd fastest sound wave are in liquids. Sound waves travel Slowest through gas.
Mediums Earthquake Waves Travel Through P- Waves- Solid, Liquid S- Waves- Solid… NOT Liquid
Type of Earthquake Waves P-Waves: Longitudinal S-Waves: Transverse
Speed of Earthquake Waves P-Waves: Fastest S-Waves: Slower
Mediums Heat Waves Travel Through Heat waves travel through Solid, Liquid, & Gas and space
Type of Heat Wave Heat waves are transverse
Speed of Heat Waves Varies (we will learn more about heat waves next week.)
